DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control (Only for California Spec.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way
catalytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel
ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The A/F sensor has the characteristic that provides output voltage
* approximately proportional to the exist-
ing air±fuel ratio. The A/F sensor output voltage
* is used to provide feedback for the ECM to control the air±
fuel ratio.
By the A/F sensor output, the ECM can determine the deviation amount from the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio
and control the proper injection time immediately. If the A/F sensor is malfunctioning, ECM is unable to per-
form accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The A/F sensor is equipped with a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by the
ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temp. of the exhaust gas is low), current flows to the heater
to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.
*: The voltage value changes at the inside of the ECM only.

DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temp. for Closed Loop
Fuel Control (Except California Spec.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
To obtain a high purification rate for the CO, HC and NOx components of the exhaust gas, a three±way
catalytic converter is used, but for the most efficient use of the three±way catalytic converter, the air±fuel
ratio must be precisely controlled so that it is always close to the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio.
The heated oxygen sensor has the characteristic where by its output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity
of the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio. This is used to detect the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and
provide feedback to the computer for control of the air±fuel ratio.
When the air±fuel ratio becomes LEAN, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust increases and the heated
oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the LEAN condition (small electromotive force: 0 V).
When the air±fuel ratio is RICHER than the stoichiometric air±fuel ratio the oxygen concentration in the ex-
haust gas is reduced and the heated oxygen sensor informs the ECM of the RICH condition (large electromo-
tive force: 1 V).
The ECM judges by the electromotive force from the heated oxygen sensor whether the air±fuel ratio is RICH
or LEAN and controls the injection time accordingly. However, if malfunction of the heated oxygen sensor
causes output of abnormal electromotive force, the ECM is unable to perform accurate air±fuel ratio control.
The heated oxygen sensors include a heater which heats the zirconia element. The heater is controlled by
the ECM. When the intake air volume is low (the temperature of the exhaust gas is low) current flows to the
heater to heat the sensor for accurate oxygen concentration detection.

DTC P0171 System too Lean (Fuel Trim)
(Only for California Spec.)
DTC P0172 System too Rich (Fuel Trim)
(Only for California Spec.)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Fuel trim refers to the feedback compensation value compared against the basic injection time. Fuel trim
includes short±term fuel trim and long±term fuel trim.
Short±term fuel trim is the short±term fuel compensation used to maintain the air±fuel ratio at its ideal
theoretical value.
The signal from the A/F sensor is approximately proportional to the existing air±fuel ratio, and ECM compar-
ing it with the ideal theoretical value, the ECM reduces fuel volume immediately if the air±fuel ratio is rich
and increases fuel volume if it is lean.
Long±term fuel trim compensates the deviation from the central value of the short±term fuel trim stored up
by each engine tolerance, and the deviation from the central value due to the passage of time and changes
of using environment.
If both the short±term fuel trim and long±term fuel trim exceed a certain value, it is detected as a malfunction
and the MIL lights up.

HINT:

When the DTC P0171 is recorded, the actual air±fuel ratio is on the lean side. When DTC P0172 is
recorded, the actual air±fuel ratio is on the rich side.

If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the air±fuel ratio is lean and DTC P0171 is recorded. The MIL then comes
on.

If the total of the short±term fuel trim value and long±term fuel trim value is within + 38 %, the system
is functioning normally.

The A/F sensor output voltage and the short±term fuel trim value can be read using the OBD II scan
tool or TOYOTA hand±held tester.

The ECM controls the voltage of AF
and AF terminals of ECM to the fixed voltage. Therefore, it
is impossible to confirm the A/F sensor output voltage without OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand±held
tester.
